"Well, that's something then." I laugh slightly, then look down at the ground. "I don't suppose you'd be interested in making any more tea?" I nod toward his cup. "Yours is probably cold by now anyway."

I laughed a little bit and nodded. "Um.. yeah, I think I will actually." I said with a faint smile. "You want any?"

"If it's no trouble," I shrug.

I smiled a little bit and shook my head. "Not at all." I said with a small smile. I moved forward to the table and picking up my mug, closing the paper somewhat quickly so she didn't see the picture of Logan and walked back over to the counter, starting to make some tea.

I frown at him slightly when he moves the paper like that, flipping it closed in an obvious attempt to hide something - unless I'm just paranoid. I step forward, curious, and open it again while he's making the tea, but I don't see anything odd.

After a moment, I had another couple cups of tea made and I walked over to Arden, handing her one of the mugs. "Here you go." I said with a small smile. I noticed her open the paper, but she didn't really react to anything, so I guess either she didn't care, or she completely missed it.

"Thanks." I smile slightly, taking the tea, then frown down at the paper again and shrug. "Anything interesting in there?"

"You're welcome." I said before sitting down in another chair at the table, setting my tea down. "Um.. no, not really." I replied, shaking my head faintly.

"Hm...." I nod, then shrug and decide to sit down across from him, sipping the tea. And... that kills my last resort for conversation....

I nodded faintly before taking sip of my tea as well. "So um.." I started, staring down at the table a moment before looking up to her.

"Yes?" I ask, raising my eyebrows over the mug of tea as I take another sip.

I shrugged, ".. I don't know really." I said looking over to her again. "Sorry, sort of.. killed the conversation."

"Mm... died on its own, I think. I doubt it was your fault." I shrug slightly.

I shrugged a little bit, "Yeah.. maybe." I said, taking another sip of my tea. "I feel like there should be something to talk about though."

"Probably is, if we try and look for it," I shrug. "I mean, all we've done so far is talk about our relationship problems."

I shrugged a little bit, "Yeah, that's true. We need something to talk about that's.. not that." I said with a faint chuckle.

"Clearly," I agree, tilting my head. "Any ideas? I mean... anything else going on with you? How's Lil? I don't know."

I shook my head a little bit, "Not really.." I said biting my lip for a second before taking another sip of my tea. "Um.. Only thing with me is work and Charlotte.." I shrugged. "And I think she's good.. Haven't seen her in a couple days actually."

"Hm...." I nod, but can't think of anything further to say on either subject.

I gave a faint nod, not too surprised she didn't say anything back to that. I really hadn't said much... in fact, I wish that I had something else to say. I hated just sitting here in silence when Arden was here. I hadn't seen her in a while, so there should be something to talk about. But really right now the only couple things that were going through my head were embarrassing or I'd just already said them. So I just stayed silent and took a sip of my tea.

"So... ah, what's going on with work then?" I ask eventually, hating the silence. At least it's something.

Post by Riley Pearson on Feb 25, 2009 19:51:45 GMT
I shrugged, "Nothing more than usual really." I answered looking up to her again. "Wish there was though because then I'd actually have something to talk about then.." I paused for a moment, trying to think of something that maybe I'd forgotten.

"Mm... yeah." I nod again, then shrug. "Speaking of work, I think I should probably find a job again."

".. I thought you went back to the library?" I asked after a short moment. I don't know why I thought she did have a job.. maybe I was less in touch with her than I thought.

"Oh, I did... but then I sort of stopped showing up when... during... around the time that Logan went psychotic again." I bite my lip briefly, then tsk at myself. "I'm not really sure they'd take me back now even if I wanted to work there."

I gave a small nod. "Right.." I said a bit quietly. ".. Well, they might take you back if you wanted.. you never know.." I said, trying to be hopeful about it, though my guess is that if she just stopped showing up, that they probably wouldn't. ".. Do you know what you might want to do?"

I shake my head, taking another sip of tea. "If there's any jobs you know of that involve a lot of organization and no people contact, let me know."

I chuckled faintly, taking a sip of my tea as I thought about it. "Um.. mail room?" I asked a moment later, shaking my head a little bit. "I don't know.. I can't think of anything that doesn't involve people.."

"That was the one place I thought of as well," I say, nodding.

I nodded a bit. "You could probably check the Ministry... or maybe Mungos?" I asked a moment later. ".. Have you thought of anything else?"
